Canadian Counties

Man – I had a hell of a time finding data for one of my projects “Let’s add Canada” request. Our whole system is setup on State, County, City. Canada doesn’t really seem to have a solid concept of “County” in all Provinces. Some Provinces seem to have districts, some have districts and counties, some have neither. It’s pretty easy to find their federal voting districts but I couldn’t find a mapping of those districts to cities to save my life. Finally Kat found http://listingsca.com/ which I used for the data.

I was almost lazy and used .Net for the scraping but decided to do it in Ruby.
